New Feats

Arcana Heart
Love is a palpable force, protecting those with most in their hearts. Gain Aura equal to Fellowship. This qualifies as Perfect Self for purposes of class completion and interactions with other mechanics.

Glamour Casting
Select a category of characteristics (Power, Finesse, or Resistance). When making a Focus Power Test, you can choose to use a social characteristic in the place of the normal characteristic used for the roll as long as they are in the same category. If your social characteristics are temporarily improved by spells or abilities, use the use the characteristic's normal rating for spellcasting. This feat may be purchased multiple times, selecting a different category of characteristics each time you do so.

Oversoul
The soul has strengthened, protecting the body even more. The Aura granted by Perfect Self is increased by +4.

Photogenics
Your beauty protects you from those who would dare harm or hinder you. Your good looks such as Appearance or Dangerous Beauty also benefit rolls to resist enemy effects.


Old New Feats

Adamant Will
Your force of will is such that it grants you an additional raise on all opposed tests as part of spells or feats that deal with spells (such as Redirect the Hurricane).

Interruption
You'll never shut up, not even if someone attacks you. Especially if someone attacks you. You may use the Refute social combat action in the place of a Parry or Dodge, increasing your Static Defense instead of your Mental Defense against the attack.

Long Winded
You may provide any length of exposition, information, or dialogue even while in combat. In social combat, when you take the Monologue/Study action as a half action you gain the benefits as if you had taken it as a full action.

Powerful Voice
You are used to shouting above the din of combat, allowing your voice to travel up to 100m with ease. You make make skill tests that would be affected by this at a distance.

Professional Insult Fighter
You can use the Monologue/Study, Social Attack, and Wordplay social combat actions in standard combat. Characters you target with social attacks in standard combat can spend reactions to Refute you as if they were in social combat. Social combat actions provoke opportunity attacks when performed in the middle of standard combat.

Glamour casting altered to once again mirror muscle wizard. I don't see many ways to boost social (scion and friends, mostly) like a werewolf boosts physical but you never know. This is more a future-proofing edit than psionicist.

[Traskus]

Made photogenics optional. I whine about divine grace on paladin but do the same thing myself.

Also removed chatter casting. I have learned much since making this class, like how busted that makes it.

Oh, you removed it? Aww.... pfffhahahaha. And Enchantment is so hard to multiclass for. Now that the feat is gone, perhaps you could add the school back in? It was in the first version of the class.

[Traskus]

Swapped out evocation to bring enchantment back to bring it back in line with glamour bard. No damage, but it has everything else.

[Traskus]

I have corrected a grave sin, adding implement focus to the class. A bit later than I'd like but this class is crowded.

[ScrapyardDragon]

so, other feats and class completions treat arcana heart lile perfect self, but *does it stack* with perfect self if you get ahold of that feat as well?

[Traskus]

It works like wholeness of body and feed the meat.
Therefore, I assume not.

[Amanojyaku]

Aura never had anything telling anybody it doesn't stack, so it does.
